Camera A-100



So Christmas is only two weeks away and I already get aseked by aunt and uncles, parents and grandperents - what would be a wish for this years christmas.

It took me a long time but I finally decided to wish me a digital camera. It was a hard decision, but finally I chose sony's first SLR Camera the A-100. First of all I got a really good price on it, and the old lenses form my dad's Minolta camera fit on it, so I save there a lot of money.

Another advantace over the Canon 400D is that the image stabilazor is directly buil into the camera. So I do not have the buy the way more expensive lenses where this feature is built in.

Fahrertraining ADAC


Hi on Wednesday I participated in a ADAC, the German automobile club, Driver's practice.
It was so much fun and I learned so much, I seriouly consider in participating in another one. We fist of all had to think about our seat position in repect to the steering weel, how we hold your steering weel and if we sit correctly to make a emergency stop.
After this very interesting introduction we learned more about the braking distance in respect to our speed and tested it ourselve on a slippery surface. After this test we learned how to dodge aroung suddenly apearing water baries. We had to decide instantly if we would make it just by using our brakes or if we would need to shift lanes and drive around the barrier. My group was of 6 cars and we had a lot of fun together.
I only can recomend this training to everybody who drives especially beginners, but even experts can learn something there.
best whishes to everybody Sebastian

My english exam tomorrow is going to be on this compelling book.

I liked the storry since it created suspense and the foreshadowing is not realized until reading the book a second time. Many experiences Paul Auster made in his own life are reflected in the ongoing search of Marco Stanly's identity.

I hope the quesitons on the text will not be too hard to answer and the translation not full of technical terms.

Best wishes sebastian

Facharbeit

Ich befasse mich gerade intensiver mit meiner Facharbeit, die ich im Februar 2007 abgeben muss. Die ganze Sache gestaltet sich nicht so leicht, wie gedacht.
Ich schreibe in Englisch über die neuen Anforderungen der Wirtschaft an unsere Schüler, neue Fähigkeiten bereits in der Schule zu erlernen, da unsere globale Arbeitswelt sich ständig neu entwickelt.

In meiner Facharbeit beziehe ich mich meist auf amerikanische Schulen, da ich 2004/05 ein Jahr eine High School in Pinckney Michigan besuchen durfte.

Wo seht ihr denn den meisten Nachholbedarf bei unseren Schulen?

Wäre toll wenn ich ein paar Antworten bekäme.
Danke bereits im Voraus für euer Interesse. Genauere Infos und den Fragebogen erhaltet ihr auf http://schooltec.blogspot.com/. Dort könnt ihr auch direkt eure Kommentare abgeben.
Euer Sebastian

13 Young Leaders Akademie

Fuer alle die an ein paar Photos ineresiert sind, hab ich einen kleinen Teil veroeffentlicht.



Von Dienstag bis Sonntag den 15. Oktober war ich in Straußberg bei Berlin. Ich durfte an der 13. Young Leaders Akademie und am anschließenden 80. Jugend Presse Kongress teilnehmen. Es war eine sehr informative Woche mit verschieden Vorträgen und Seminaren aus den Bereichen Wirtschaft, Politik, und Psychologie.
100 Jungendliche trafen sich in der Akademie für Information und Kommunikation der Bundeswehr und diskutierten über aktuelle ethische Probleme, nahmen an Bewerbungs- oder Körpersprachentraining teil und diskutierten mit Experten über deren jeweiliges Fachgebiet. Beim Pressekongress konnten die Teilnehmer sich in einer Medienbörse aus erster Hand von Experten informieren lassen. Die gesammelten Informationen wurden dann in zwei Kongresszeitungen von den Jugendlichen veröffentlicht und von zwei Fernsehteams verfilmt. Den Jugendlichen standen hierbei professionelle Journalisten zur Seite.
Es war ein unvergleichliches Erlebnisse und so wie ich einwenig mehr Zeit finde, schreibe ich noch etwas ausführlicher.

Microsoft Life Cam NX-6000

Microsoft LifeCam NX-6000

Hi,
I was looking for a new webcam, when I found this great litte device. Microsoft produces this camera with a 1600 x 1190 pixel camera that interpolates up to 7.6 Megapixels. It has a 71° wide angle lense and 3x digital zoom.
The lense snaps into the frame so it is protected and with a clip on the back you can hook it onto your notebook screen.
The price should be round a 100$ but I have not found a date when it will ship. So I think we have to wait...
